Colombians in South Florida now. The Mexicans already have a strong presence in the northeast and it probably won't be too long before they are the top traffickers there too.

The Colombians may still maintain a presence along the east coast or may pull back even further. The Dominicans will probably continue to be major distributors for the Colombians and Mexicans. The Asians are significant traffickers in several cities scattered across the country but it's usually drugs that don't bring them into direct competition with the Hispanic groups; specifically high-grade marijuana and ecstasy.
